MATH ROCK RETROSPECTIVE // LYNX (1997-2001) It’s hard not to talk about Lynx without immediately bringing up Dave Konopka, who played guitar in the band before going on to play in one of the most important bands of the last decade regardless of genre: Battles. Konopka got his start crafting a unique sound with Lynx in the late 90’s, and laying seminal influence for the kind of sounds math rock was evolving into.

La escena musical británica de finales de los años 2000 era un páramo. Tras el éxito transatlántico de The Strokes y la explosión de Arctic Monkeys, aparecieron miles y un copycats, que inundaron las sedes populares del Reino Unido con grupos de gobios en trilbies y polos, desesperados por el éxito de la noche a la mañana. Rápidamente llamado 'landfill indie', fue una frase fácil que plagó la música de guitarra británica durante años.
